Even though it was backed by Rockstar, the company&#8217;s non-GTA games have never made as much noise as the franchise that made them billionaires. But its perfect blend of open world, western setting, and narrative made it a success. Which would later be enhanced with its second installment, in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem is that Red Dead Redemption would never be released on PC. <strong>For some reason, Rockstar decided to exclude the second largest gaming platform in the world<\/strong>, second only to mobile phones. Something that may be about to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Red Dead Redemption Official Launch Trailer\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-o7rES_3ymA?start=5&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TezFunz2\/status\/1790031522315026508\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">A dataminer named Tez2 has published new code from the Rockstar launcher<\/a>. <strong>Although we would normally be more cautious in affirming the veracity of the content, in this case, it is extremely explicit<\/strong>. Because what he has found in the code is a quote that says &#8220;Travel through the expanding territories of the American West and Mexico in Read Dead Redemption, and its zombie horror expansion, Undead Nightmare, now playable on PC&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, this is not a confirmation that it will happen. Even if it seems unlikely that it won&#8217;t happen. Especially considering that Red Dead Redemption <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/red-dead-redemption-returns-although-not-in-the-way-we-wanted\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">already received ports to PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch last year<\/a>. <strong>That doesn&#8217;t exclude the possibility of it being a quite disappointing release, as it lacked any kind of graphical improvement, was technically limited, and its price was excessively high for what the public expected<\/strong>. Something that also makes us cautious about its release, if it is finally confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-affiliation\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-affiliation__content\">\r\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instant-gaming.com\/en\/5679-buy-rockstar-red-dead-redemption-2-pc-game-rockstar\/?igr=softonic1\" class=\"sc-card-affiliation__badge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">-73%<\/a>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-affiliation__image\">\r\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instant-gaming.com\/en\/5679-buy-rockstar-red-dead-redemption-2-pc-game-rockstar\/?igr=softonic1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\r\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/9b335ffa-580a-4de6-9226-e2d751e10ac9\/1942143693\/red-dead-redemption-2-06-02-2018%2017-31-47.png\">\r\n            <\/a>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-affiliation__body\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-affiliation__text\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instant-gaming.com\/en\/5679-buy-rockstar-red-dead-redemption-2-pc-game-rockstar\/?igr=softonic1\" class=\"sc-card-affiliation__title\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Red Dead Redemption 2<\/a>\r\n        <p class=\"sc-card-affiliation__supplier\">\r\n          From: <strong>Instant-Gaming<\/strong>\r\n        <\/p>\r\n        <p class=\"sc-card-affiliation__price\">\r\n          16.26\u20ac <strike>60\u20ac<\/strike>\r\n        <\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-affiliation__cta\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instant-gaming.com\/en\/5679-buy-rockstar-red-dead-redemption-2-pc-game-rockstar\/?igr=softonic1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sc-card-affiliation__button\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Get Offer<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, Rockstar has always had a peculiar relationship with the PC. GTA5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 were only released on PC a year after their initial release, which would be a move in line with the company&#8217;s current policies. <strong>Something that makes it even more likely that we will soon be able to embody John Marston again, one of the great heroes of the video game<\/strong>.
